Disclosed is a digital sign system and method of use thereof. The system includes a digital sign having a controller board having a microcontroller, a temperature sensor communicably coupled to fans or a cooling/heating unit, an ambient light sensor, a GPS unit, a radar, a communication module, and a power source, wherein the controller board is in communication with an LED panel or another display module for digitally outputting messages, further wherein the digital sign is mounted on a pilot truck to allow the pilot truck to relay messages to a transport truck and oncoming vehicles. The digital sign is in communication with a second GPS unit disposed on the transport truck so as to track the real-time location of the truck. The digital sign measures the distance between a transport and the digital pilot truck sign and displays the relative distances between the two on the digital message board. In operation, the digital sign is configured to automatically adjust its brightness so as to optimize its visibility while reducing glare to other drivers on the road.
